I want to see this. I’m miffed at myself for not going a few years back when it was in Northern Idaho. This time around I want to travel to watch it.

If you check out this link you can see the path that it takes across North America. It also has a listing of some towns to consider for this adventure.

What I need help with is figuring out the place with the best odds of clear skies.

My initial thought was eastern Canada - Kingston or Montreal area - but I’m worried about cloudy skies. East Texas seems doable? Maybe Mexico?

Anybody else planning on this trip?

Ever seen an eclipse?
